A new addition to the loco fleet. A BR Class 14 diesel shunter. It’s a nice little loco that runs smoothly at low speeds, which is produced by Graham Farish. I am just slightly disappointed that it does not have directional lighting, which is a pity, because it comes pre-fitted with a speaker for sound. Personally, I would rather have the…

When you go on holiday you can’t take your model railway with you. However, you can take some model kits to make up whilst you are away. I have a lot of Metcalfe card kits on my layout, and with a small expansion planned, it is time to start making some more in preparation. This is the PN153 Village School in N Scale. The walls around…

The small one is the same colour all over but for the larger one I have used two different shades of green, and also added some brown scatter around the base of the trees. Whilst it is not the largest terrain feature…

When I originally planned the current layout, I did it to make it as simple to build as possible, having previously had several false starts where I had mad the scenery too complex and therefore never got the layout finished before moving. This time I went for a mainly flat layout, so that track could be laid quickly, so that trains could be…

Planning a Layout – some thoughts. @Tonybolony73
When planning a layout, my advice would always to be to plan a layout that would fit the maximum space you have available. This is simply because, if you have a space of 4m x 3m but you plan and build a layout that is only 2m x 2m, very quickly you will wish you had a bigger layout.

A BR Class 41 Warship diesel hydraulic locomotive with its rake of coaches awaits the green signal at Nowhere-in-Particular. Only five of these locos were produced, and were succeeded by the Class 42 Warships. They were known as Warships because they were all named after Royal Navy ships. The model is by EFE Rail.
